matter that lies solely between his own

thousands of temperance people, yea,
thousands who make no use of intoN-

Many of these people take special pains

THE FORM OF THE BALLOT.
From the Brookfield G~azette.I

[From the Brookfield Gazette.l
In the election that is to be held fol
or against the adoption of prohibition
in this county there are but two form'
of tickets that can be used. Those in
favor of the adoption of prohibition in
this county must use a ticket contain
ing the words against the sale of in
toxicatipg liquors." and those opposed
to the adoption of this most oppressive,
%tyrannical %prohibitory law must vote
a ticket with the words, "For the sale
of intoxicating liquors." These words
in either instance must be written or
printed on white paper. 1t is true
there will be many good men who will
vote for the sale of intoxicating liquors
that if that were the only question
would not 80 vote, but this being the
only method by which they can vote
against this oppressive law that inter-
feres with the administering of reme-
dies to the sick and the hospitality in
the household and at the same time
opens up the almost unrestricted sale
of alcohol for ~'smechanlcal or art pur-
poses," by which any man who will
tell a lie can obtain alcohol for ''medlc.
inal" purposes from the druggist, will
vote against it and the only course to
defeat this odious law is as we have
above.

the chief duty of society is to protect
them, which involve the punishment
of those who trespass upon their neigh
bors. AS all men are not fit to be a aw
unto themselves, the power to restrain
and to punish evil-doers is a necessary
part of social organism.
The corner stone of my political creed
is that all the just powers of govern
ment are derived from the consent of
the governed; but that there are mali
enable rights of man, of which govern
ment cannot rightfully deprive him ; to
do so, either by a majority of the peo-
pie, by military coercion, or under the
dogma of divine right, is despotism. In
these general propositions it is assumed
you will concur, and though we have
recently been separated on a single
question, I trustfully look forward to
reunion Oh the broader field which lies
beyond it.
In conclusion, permit me to express
the hope that it will give you less pain
to read this letter than the necessity for
writing it has given to me, and to as
sure you that l remain ever faithfully

1t will be seer by the above table that
sixty-three more arrests for drunken
ness were made in Cambridge during
four months under prohibition rule
than we're made for the same length of
time when the license system was in
vogue. The significance of these figures
depends greatly upon the point OF view
from which they are regarded. Doubt
less a prohibitionist would claim that
they are OF no special moment and too
restricted in their scope to have any eft
feet on a general argument. Neverthe-
lees, straws are important in showing
the direction of the wind, and the
police statistics of Cambridge are
worthy at least Of passing notice.

Tie new departure of the National

Grafton Of some other matters in con-
nection with woman's place and
wo,nan's work.
That she has place and work,
and very important ones tco, in the

knowledeed bv all; that her place
and work have been too much re-
strictcd heretofore will be admitted
by most; but that she has the same
sphere and equal work and RESPONSE
b;lity with the men will be claimed
by very few.
It is only within the recent past
that any attempt has been made to
utilize the influence and power of
woman in great moral reforms and
in efforts for the evangelization of
the world. For ages the idea of
subordination has prevailed to sach
q degree that practically woman's
work and womans Influence has been
confined exclusively to the home.
There is no question but that this is
at last the throne Of her power. But

The Sweep Of the Syndicates.

The great gsme of railroad con-

be looked for, and it is quite posi-
bic that every railroad Of the coun-

huge syste,os as that reported to have
been inaugurated around the Sully
syndicate.
Such a railroad league composed
of these mighty syndicates will try
to the last extent the character of

ment. The most powerful lobbies
ever known to American history will
infest our legislative halls. The

merce provision had no more to dc

Of the railroads than it had to dc

thereupon from State tozState. It is

Trial Justice Jurors.

A question of general interest to
the public was decided by Judge
Norton at the last term of the Ker-
shaw court. Mr.. H. Baum way sum-
moned as a juror by Trial Justice
Winkler. He failed to attend, and
paid the fine of 81 provided by law.
In a few days be was again sum-
moned as juror by the same Trial
Justice. He refused to serve upon
the ground that no man can be re.
euired to sit as juror before the
same Trial Justice more than once in
the same year; that having been sum-
moned by Trial Justice Winkler, and
having paid the fine for non-aitend-
ance, this was equivalent to service
as juror, and he could not be again
summoned. The Trial Justice de-
cided that he had not served as ju-
ror, and was liable; therefore he would
impose the fine fixed by law. Mr..
Baum appealed, and Judge Norton
decided that faiing to serve as juror
and paying the fine was not equiva'
lent to service; that Mr.. Baum
was liable to be summoned again.
and he therefore affirmed the judg'
ment of the Trial Justice.

ssLet the Farmer Live at Home and
Prosperity VIII Dawn"

The Columbia Register of the 9th
gives it's editorial columns to CON-
munication on the condition Of the
farmer and the cause 1t says that
cotton planting is doomed and the
chief cause is the vast credit system
now used to make crop. The writer
further says that the farmers should
plant half crop Of cotton and there
by strengthen the market. The ar
guments are very good. but expert
ence has shown and will show again
that the reducing of the cotton crop
is impossible. Suppose that every
farmer, this year, was to only plant
half the land usually put in cotton
and next fall the price was to 60 up
to Is or l6 cents a pound. The fol.
lowing year every acre that could be
planted would be put in cotton, and
the condition Of the country would
be equally as bad if not worse. It
is very easyto draw pictures on paper,
and art is sometimes acknowledged
prettier than nature, but with the
farmers the only way to get them out
Of the fnancia. sea of credit and
bankruptcy is the way Of experience
and education. Cotton will always
be tie money crop Of this State and
